Itʼs time the EU stepped in and started regulating Appleʼs use of apostrophes

you might not notice or care, but to me, it’s like reading this:

there should be a bug bounty program for this, I would be so, so rich

@BenRiceM I'm so confused? It should have an apostrophe on those.

@robb sorry, not a grammar issue, a typographic one.

Apostrophes (and quotation marks) should be angled, not straight.

If the symbol just goes straight it’s just for referring to feet or inches.

(The rule is okay to ignore in general, as long as you’re consistent)

@BenRiceM @robb It hurts me even more to see this from a company that cared and cares so much about Typography.

I got introduced to typography much earlier (Remember Letraset rub down letters?), but the Mac opened a whole new world for me.

And now this!

@below @robb “Remember Letraset rub down letters”

oh god, how old do I look?? 😫

@BenRiceM @robb Sorry, I did not check the picture even 😝 OK, you look as if you have no idea what that even was

@below @robb I mean, I’m familiar with it, just academically 😜

@BenRiceM @robb As my picture doesn't give away much, I tell you that I have actually used these. Extensively.
